So chaps what will get rid of this?
Last year was the first time I ever compounded polished and waxed a car (hell it's my first and only NEW car).
I didn't think about putting masking tape over the trim (this year I've got frog tape).
I am using the trim restorer which it only hides it until I wash it again I want it gone for good.

Nut oil or peanut butter... honestly it will work

I don't have any Nut oil what about mustard oil?
Help chaps. - J1ODYA - 25:th-Apr-2014
No, any peanut butter?
Help chaps. - tucpal - 25:th-Apr-2014
it is a nightmare to remove from the plastic trim bits oil really does work
Help chaps. - J1ODYA - 25:th-Apr-2014
Or a child's eraser although this is hard work.
Help chaps. - Rusty2009 - 25:th-Apr-2014
I had a go with some peanut butter but it had bits in, it has taken some away, I'll get some oil.
Thanks for the tip mate
Help chaps. - tucpal - 25:th-Apr-2014
you needed smooth
Help chaps. - J1ODYA - 25:th-Apr-2014
You do & leave it on a bit... I got bottle of walnut oil, just pour a bit on kitchen towel then wipe over.
Help chaps. - Rusty2009 - 27:th-Apr-2014
Is this walnut oil ok?
How long would you advise I leave it on for, it will be done out of sunlight in my garage?
Help chaps. - tucpal - 27:th-Apr-2014
keep us updated of the results rusty

Black shoe polish every time for me, cheap as chips and very effective. Use it on any black trim on the car, preferably a couple of coats should do the trick.
Help chaps. - J1ODYA - 27:th-Apr-2014
That's the oil I have...
Does show polish cover it or remove it?
Help chaps. - grahamfromoldham - 27:th-Apr-2014
Its been a few years since I used it to cover up overspill polish but I'm 99% sure sure the white won't come back.

[MENTION=4]J1ODYA[/MENTION] I've just put the walnut oil on how long do I leave it mate and do I wash it off with soapy water?
Help chaps. - J1ODYA - 28:th-Apr-2014
I just wipe on, wipe off... you still got it on?
Help chaps. - Rusty2009 - 28:th-Apr-2014
Ok thanks mate, yes still on.
Help chaps. - J1ODYA - 28:th-Apr-2014
lol well shouldn't do any harm but keep us posted
Help chaps. - Rusty2009 - 28:th-Apr-2014
well it kinda worked its dulled it down but its still there, I've given it 3 coats.
Help chaps. - J1ODYA - 28:th-Apr-2014
Jeez man, how much polish is there?
Give it some more oil, rub in with tooth brush then wipe dry... should sort it
Help chaps. - Rusty2009 - 28:th-Apr-2014
I'll go find a spare toothbrush (sure the kids wont notice if I borrow one of theirs

That reminds me of when I had a Renault Fuego , er a few years ago. People used to ask me how I kept the vinyl roof on it looking good but I don't think they believed me when I said boot polish. .
I think they thought I was manky. .
Help chaps. - Rusty2009 - 30:th-Apr-2014
It is getting rid of it, slowly think it might be harder to come off where it has been on there a long time.
Help chaps. - Rusty2009 - 7:th-May-2014
Just washed the car don't want the dealership to do it, and it's all come back so the oil hasn't worked.

Here is a thought . Maybe something like spirits or petrol to get rid of the stain and then something like CG Barebones over the top of the whole surface. .
